[Gretl-devel] Cumbersome to enter new data

[andreas.rosenblad at ltv.se]

I have now find out what the problem is. When I enter a value with the
typewriter keys in the keyboard I have no problems, but using the numeric
keypad of the keyboard (using Num Lock) I got the problems I described
earlier.

I am attaching a couple of screenshots showing the problem.

In screenshot 1, I hit "5", which result in screenshot 2, which in turn
after a few seconds changes to screenshot 3.
